Quirky, humourous, witty, cynical. Any ethnicity. Greg: 25: Somewhat slower than his friends, perhaps a little less intelligent. A sheep, needs a leader, needs instruction. Any ethnicity. Lauren, 23: Very petite girl, almost verging on frail. Kind and likeable. Incredibly naïve and young also. Sweet and thoughtful. Perhaps the victim of bullying herself at one time. Blonde. Andy, 25: Always been popular, always had the luck. Successful, life is an easy ride for him. Not a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Manos Anastasiou is a Cumbrian rapper/TV presenter, so deep undercover I can&#8217;t work out whether he&#8217;s fictional or not. Manos has created MTV, or a series of videos in which he walks around his town of Whitehaven educating the viewers about the issues that matter most. It&#8217;s hilarious stuff: in one episode he reviews a takeaway order; in another he comes over all nostalgic about the demise of Richard O&#8217;Brien&#8217;s The Crystal Maze. In this clip, Manos tells us how to make money, and unveils his own action figure. Tweet This Post]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Chamber was not a place that inspired hope in a young man&#8217;s heart. Indeed, not many brutish, nasty places do. The years made it more sterile; bearable, one might say. It&#8217;s the only way beauty doesn&#8217;t escape. It is how we can spy still fondly the stars from the barrack window, as though it is a surprise they still exist. A pink eye sky tonight; blinking in shock at the things we humans have thrown in our haste. The last warlords are dead, the nurses say, but this is hard to believe. You must understand. We have waited for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This image is part of a series of photographs that were taken along the 34km Dakar-Diamniadio, the internationally funded motorway under construction that links Dakar to the rest of Senegal. For months I had been photographing the highway as it gradually changed its face, as well as the people that every day crossed the surreal landscape. A scenery where people struggle on a changing space, on the edge between an enduring past and a doubtful future. The first thing that struck me about the enormous building site in and around the new motorway was the disorderly overlapping of new buildings, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Listen to this. It&#8217;s Jim’ll Fix It. On a wet day. It’s not Christmas. It’s not the end of Boogie Nights. But it’s definitely somewhere in-between. It is nostalgic. A yo-yo word. “We Brits love nostalgia,” a telly ad told me. Nostalgia is what brands that think they deserve more appreciation, do.  To draw us into something that isn’t simply new; to tell you they have always been there.  So you can buy yourself Oxo and Hovis and Fairy Liquid, and nod reassuringly to your mother and your children at the same time. An architect told me that the etymology [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most famous for growing a soft prosthetic ear and then grafting it onto his arm, performance artist Stelarc remains at the forefront of science-in-art. He’s in London at the moment for his annual three-month residency at Brunel University and last night I caught up with him at a talk on the ethics of bioart, held at GV Art. Tell us about the relationship between art and science as you see it. It’s a very problematic relationship: we don’t want scientists doing bad art and we don’t want artists doing bad research. On the other hand, new technologies, cognitive sciences, artificial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pic: Joseph Loughborough. IN-YOUR-FACE THEATRE By Gemma Rogers Last week I went to see Philip Ridley’s A Pitchfork Disney, a gothic fairy-tale with a psychological twist. I’ve read the play two hundred times but I’ve never seen it brought to life, mainly because in 1991, twenty-one whole years ago when Hampstead Theatre first treated its audiences to the production, I was still in my back garden playing with earwigs. To see a classic is a thrilling event. It’s now being performed to a whole new generation of theatre goers who are getting to experience Philip Ridley’s beautiful and lyrical writing [...]]]></description>

He was born in Mozambique, and now lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. Have you always drawn? Can you tell us how about when you started and/or show us an image from your childhood. I started early, according to my parents, drawing specific things. I drew from films almost right from the start.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I have some confessions now that the story is over. I lied about my age. Not twenty-three, but nineteen. It’s not a big deal. I lied about my natural hair colour (it’s dark brown). I spent so many hours at the hairdressers, getting my roots touched up, even though the smell of ammonia makes me feel sick. I grew up in the country, and lied about that too. I never got lost on the tube when I was seven years old and had to have my name broadcast over the intercom; I didn’t wait for an hour that seemed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Graduate from university, work shit jobs, save some money, move to Berlin, take photographs, write books and get famous; James and Maeve’s plan seemed fairly straightforward. Berlin: where rent was cheap and part-time jobs were well paid and plentiful. Where every waiter and sandwich maker was an artist in disguise. Where you could live with dignity, without parents to judge or high London rents to nudge you into submission, into a career. James and Maeve did not want careers. In Berlin, Maeve would take a part-time job in a bookshop and spend the rest of her days writing. James [...]]]></description>
